The application has been filed by Innvest Leisure (Sheff BO) Limited, the company which has filed applications for Olivia’s in the past, and describes changes to the licence for the premises that would see karaoke booths installed upstairs in the building.
It describes the proposed variation as: “For the variation of the premises licence to permit some layout changes to be made to the first floor of the premises to include the construction of karaoke pods.”
No date has appeared for the re-opening of the bar.
Innvest are a business based in the North East of England.
Karaoke booths are spaces in bars where groups of friends can go together to sing karaoke without the whole venue seeing them. The size of the space can vary.
Some venues in Sheffield already operate them.
